There are several ways to do it: you can export the outgoing links from Wikipedia using Semrush or Ahrefs and check their availability. Or you can write your own script to crawl Wikipedia pages and collect a list of outbound links, then check if those domains are available.

Alternatively, you can use services like Spamzilla, ExpiredDomainsNnet, etc. — they offer features for searching based on backlinks.

To get a backlink from Wikipedia:

1. Create valuable, verifiable content on your site.
2. Find relevant Wikipedia articles where your content can support or expand a point.
3. Edit the article and add your link as a citation — ensure it follows Wikipedia's guidelines.
4. Make sure your site is credible, non-promotional, and not seen as spam.
5. Use the "Talk" page to justify your edit if needed.

Note: Backlinks from Wikipedia are nofollow, but they still provide authority and traffic.

To get a backlink from Wikipedia:

1. Find a relevant article in your niche.
2. Look for dead links or missing citations.
3. Create high-quality content on your website that fills the gap.
4. Edit the Wikipedia page and replace the dead or missing link with yours.

Backlinks stay longer if your edit is helpful and informative.

Look for dead links or outdated citations on relevant Wikipedia pages. If your content fits, you can suggest your link as a replacement.

Once I find domains then I do what? I can't redirect those domains to my site as they are nofollow or I am missing something here?

Many people believe that even nofollow links pass some link juice. And links from Wikipedia are thought to carry special weight because of Wikipedia’s high authority.

I agree, some seo say so. Anyone doing this?

Getting a backlink from Wikipedia isn’t easy, but it’s possible if your content truly adds value. Look for articles with dead links or citation needed tags. If you have a relevant page (non-promotional well written) you can edit and replace it.

Just in short:

• Don’t use brand-new or spammy domains, they’ll get reverted.
• Avoid editing too many pages with your link. It’ll get flagged.
• If your link gets removed, analyze the edit comment and revise.

Find a dead link on a relevant Wikipedia page, recreate the content on your site, then edit the page and replace the dead link with yours. Use an aged account and keep it non-promotional. Simple but works if done right.

Create a high quality article and then edit the wikipedia page. Article should be neutral or improve existing content.

Getting a backlink from Wikipedia is possible, but it takes a careful and helpful approach.
Focus on adding real value — find pages with broken citations or “citation needed” tags in your niche. If your content genuinely fits, edit the page and add your link with a proper citation.
Just avoid spamming — editors review everything, so quality and relevance are key.
